  • Patent number: 9118190
    Abstract: A charging balancing system and method thereof based on a battery operating process and are disclosed. This is done by detecting a state of all cells in a detecting battery assembly to generate detection parameters, analyzing the detection parameters to produce an operating process, selecting at least one of residual power estimation methods according to the operating process, so as to calculate a residual power of each cell, and adjusting the charging current and charging time for each cell according to the residual power. As such, the efficiency of charging balancing is promoted.

  • Publication number: 20140095090
    Abstract: A residual battery capacity estimation system that adds two mutually perpendicular components and the method thereof are provided. The mechanism detects the battery voltage, current and temperature as the sensing parameters, and uses the preset electrical characteristic parameters and capacity change to look up a table for the battery dynamic internal resistance component. The mechanism uses the sensing parameters and the Coulomb counting method to calculate the component of the battery Coulomb counting charge. Afterwards, the battery dynamic internal resistance component and the battery Coulomb counting capacity component are then added to calculate the actual residual power of the battery. The mechanism achieves the goal of increasing the accuracy in estimating the battery residual power.

  • Publication number: 20130164572
    Abstract: A battery device with a verification function, an anti-theft method and a packaging method thereof are disclosed. By detecting electrical characteristics of a battery, an enabling or disable signal is generated. When the enable signal is generated, a transmission unit is triggered for verification as well as obtaining a verification result. When the verification result fails, the self-discharge rate of the battery is increased. This mechanism helps improving the anti-theft function of the battery.

  • Publication number: 20130162214
    Abstract: A capacitor active balancing device with high-voltage differential and the method thereof are disclosed. A plurality of cells are connected in series for charging an energy storage unit under a high-voltage differential. The energy storage unit discharges cells of lower power to achieve battery balancing. The mechanism helps improve the efficiency of battery balancing.
